Basic Instructions started out as a small side-feature Scott Meyer created to entertain people who came to his website looking to hire a comedian. It wasn't long before the comic was far more popular than anything Scott ever did as a comedian.
Basic Instructions is a series of guides meant to help you lead a better life. They cover topics as diverse as "How to Deal with Boredom" and "How to Travel Back in Time to Deliver a Dire Warning to Your Former Self". Basic Instructions is populated with exaggerated versions of Scott, his family and his friends, which has caused no small amount of unpleasantness.

My all time favorite midnight show: The Rocky Horror Picture Show. “Hot patootie, bless my soul! I really love that rock n’ roll!”

Can’t argue here. I saw the recent Star Trek on base, with the person next to me coming in drunk. She hollered during the first five minutes, passed out, woke up, threw up into her backpack, passed out, woke up and crept out, leaving her backpack behind. I was so glad there were two seats between us. But it did make for a memorable experience.

I see you came back.
I agree, yesterday’s was better.
For the record, I fell asleep in the only “Lord of the Rings” series movies that I saw.

The subdued enthusiasm and attendance is why I’m waiting to see the Hobbit.

I think Scott Meyer is the living end

Got to see “The Hobbit” yesterday, first show of the morning in 3D. Was nice. I had read about half the book and it allowed me to clearly see where they added from other sources to mix nicely and some minor reworking of other scenes. Very nice. Next up the spiders!

Regrettably, 27 animals were killed in the making including horses, sheep and chickens.

How did that happen? Were some of them turned into stew?
